Treating dental problems
Root canal treatment treats infection or inflammation of the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth. It is often used to try to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed.
This page describes a common dental treatment. Please contact the clinic to confirm whether it is available and suitable for you.
The dentist numbs the tooth, makes a small opening, removes the affected pulp, then cleans and shapes the canals inside the root before sealing them. Treatment may take more than one visit.
